@MN5 There was a doco on Beck on Sky a couple of months back. He came across as very much his own man. Page loves him.

I might have to track that one down. He’s a guitar hero who justifies the wank in my opinion, I’ve never heard anyone do the stuff he does.

I'm a huge Gary Moore fan, and Beck was one of his guitar idols. Jeff Beck's "Live at Ronnie Scott's" concert blu-ray/DVD is a great watch.

As for FNM, I've only seen them once but that was following Judas Priest and before Soundgarden, so a Halford, Patton and Cornell trifecta.

Not dissing the praise of Beck but if you like that have you listened to much of Barry Cadogan of Little Barrie? (They did the theme tune to Better Call Saul)

Never heard of them, will have a listen though

EDIT. Shit, this is pretty cool, he's definitely channelling the guitar hero vibe quite nicely considering it's a dying art.

Youtube him. He has quite a few vids showcasing his guitars and explaining how his style came about.
He isn't just a flashy technician though. Adds some really nice touches to melodies.
I first hunted him out after seeing him fill in on an in studio BBC thing with Paul Weller. Steve Craddock must have been busy with something else (which he usually is) and Cadogan sat in. Can't remember the track but he added some beautiful extras that made me take notice.
It was only then that I found out he was the same guy that plays the Better Call Saul theme.

Discovered Gary Moore in my teens, never heard guitaring to that degree before.
Must have played the shit out of Wild Frontier... Friday on my Mind, Over the Hills and Far Away etc...just brilliant stuff.

The Yardbirds had quite a lineup. Clapton, Beck and Page:

Gary Moore was just a generic blues man to me. Nothing particularly amazing. Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee and SRV were all far better White boy blues men in my opinion.

They’re also just as dead as him which is sad.

@MN5 Yeah, wasn't ranking them, just a list and still pretty good. I think that they were all in Rolling Stone's top 100.

Those lists are always interesting and controversial !

FNM - I'm not in the same league as you connoisseurs, but I like a lot of their stuff. Showing my true colours when I say my fav song of theirs is Evidence - just love that cruisy beat.

I also scored 100% at the Pickled Possum once with my rendition of their Easy cover - not for my tunefulness by any stretch, but (I think) because I didn't need the karaoke machine for the words, and because I nailed the timing and all-important enthusiasm parts.

Man I miss the Possum.

Evidence is an awesome tune, I never tire of it
